She has a song called Spinning Around. In the blind auditions the coaches spin around in their chairs. The jokes might be obvious, but still amusing…

9. She’s experienced

As mentioned, Kylie has been in the music business for over 25 years. She will have a lot of valid opinions and insight – unlike other Voice coaches of the past…

8. She’s real(it)y experienced

While the singer hasn’t ever fronted a reality show before, she was on hand to help out sister Danii Minogue as a guest judge on The X Factor in 2009. She gave some good advice, so it will be great to hear her views each week. Plus she made a great appearance on The Voice before.

7. She’s pretty likeable

While it would be unfair to say Jessie J wasn’t a good coach on the first two series’ of the show, she did definitely split the audience. For everyone who loved her bold personality, there would be two or three viewers who found they could not stand her. Kylie will be much less likely to split the audience. After all, who doesn’t like Kylie?

6. She can sing

With thirteen tours under her belt (and also her recent stripped back Abbey Road sessions album) Kylie has proven time and again how good her voice is.

5. She can move!

We will have her Spinning Around video – the one where she dances in the gold hot pants – emblazed upon our minds until the day we die.

4. She has connections

Kylie has worked with enough other artists and producers to give Tom Jones a run for his money in the name dropping department. Having collaborated with the likes of Robbie Williams and Calvin Harris, it will be interesting to see who Kylie brings on board to help her out at the advisor stage of the competition.

3. She’s not connected to Universal

The Voice raised eyebrows when its original line-up were all revealed to be under the Universal Music label – with the winner of the show also being signed by the record giant. But now Kylie is signed to Jay Z’s label Roc Nation (owned by Sony) critics won’t be able to accuse her of being a puppet for Universal.

2. She’s good at a duet

Kids with Robbie Williams, Higher with Taio Cruz and of course the timeless classic Especially for You with Jason Donovan, Kylie is great when it comes to sharing vocals. Which will be great when it comes to the coach/contestant live performance of the show.

1. She has a new album

In news that will excite fans further, Kylie is currently working on her twelfth studio album. What’s the bets it will drop the same time as her appearance on The Voice?
